It’s chocolate day. What flavor did you get this year? I got the Khalili Jelly.
The Cal-zy Crush
The difficult-to-define-but-definitely-there-and-I’m-secretly-happy-though-I’d-never-admit-it-to-you flavor.

The GiftTrap Gumdrop
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present. But darn, double darn the presents!!

The Iffy Taffy
When your heart is in the right place, as is your head, but the resulting brains-in-a-heart-shaped-box doesn’t quite cut it.

The Khalili Jelly
The Khalili Jelly’s inspired by Khalil Gibran, who has great love advice. His precise, but comprehensive suggestion: Let there be spaces in your togetherness. Khalil’s words are way more powerful than mine, but if you must have a TLDR summary:
- Be together with those you love, but also be just the right amount of apart.
- Grow individually, and grow together, without blocking each other.
- Give. Take. Inspire.
Of course, all great poetic advice is distillable into cat moments. The cats have it all figured out, people. Take heed.

I got the Khalili Jelly for sure.
Here’s what my non-cat version looks like: After a day of work, my valentines and I reheat something from the fridge for dinner, discuss the groceries, whine about the weather, goof around for a bit with Snapchat filters, fill out yet another form as part of some godforsaken administrative nightmare, … and yet somehow, it’s a perfect night.
